I don't know whether this is described there, but frequently, some two-letter combinations are dropped, the same two-letter combinations that remain in abbreviations. For examlpe, Thomas is usually abbreviated Th., and so both the T and the h would be dropped. In July I saw a manuscript in a museum in Budapest that had each first letter painted in red instead of dropped. As far as I can remember, that happened for each paragraph. Could such a thing be done in CSS? Regards, Martin.
